instrument panel illumination
« on: May 04, 2003 - 11:13:39 PM »
when my dash was pulled the person who did it also pulled the illuminator<-(my words) out as well,i would like to get this part reinstalled the right way but am not sure where the wire(orange) that runs these lights that illuminate your dash goes thru to the back side of the dash, and more importantly what wire feed it goes to   ??? if anyone knows what color wire this orange wire plugs into and its general location under the dash the info would be greatly appreciated and yes i have the service manual

it goes over the right corner of the guage panel & drops down near the radio , there will be an orange 3 prong female connector it plugs into in that area  ;)
